The Winner's Curse: Dream Cast

The Winner's Curse: Dream Cast

Based on The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

This book's sequel, The Winner's Crime is coming out in about two months, which has got me thinking a lot about this series lately. So I thought I'd do a cast list! (Why has it been so long since I've done one of these??)

Kestrel

Character Info: Protagonist, daughter of the general, part of the aristocracy, only child

Played by: Either Lily James of Melissa Benoist

(I can't decide who would be better! Which would you prefer?)

Arin

Character Info: Kestrel's slave

Played by: Ezra Miller

I know he might be a strange choice, but if you've seen The Perks of Being a Wallflower you know he's a phenomenal actor, and I'd love to see him bring his intensity to this role.

Jess

Character Info: Kestrel's best friend

Played by: Jane Levy

I actually don't know anything about this actress, but when her photo popped up in my research, I immediately said YES.

Ronan

Character Info: Jess' brother

Played by: James Norton

James Norton was in Death Comes to Pemberley, and did a fantastic job. I think he's be awesome in this film!

Cheat

Character Info: Arin's auctioneer

Played by: Ben Youcef

This is another one where I don't actually know this actor's work, but his look is perfect.

Irex

Character Info: Kestrel's frenemy

Played by: Evan Ross

He could definitely pull off the frenemy thing.

General Trajan

Character Info: Kestrel's father, war hero, and the highest ranking military officer on the peninsula where they live

Played by: Daniel Day-Lewis

AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT??

What do you think? Who would you choose in these roles? And, HOW ABOUT MAKING THIS ADAPTATION, HOLLYWOOD?!?!?

I haven't heard anything about a film adaptation for this series, but, I agree, it would be awesome if they did! This is just my idea for a dream cast. (But if Hollywood wants to consult me in any of their adaptation casting, I'D BE COOL WITH THAT.)
